Acts: Sent by Jesus is an 8-week bible study that traces the continuing work of the risen and ascended Lord Jesus Christ as he carries forward his mission by the Holy Spirit through his Church. Written by Luke as the companion to his gospel, our bible passages in Acts show how the good news of Jesus moves outward from Jerusalem to the nations and draws people to himself as the apostles, empowered by the Holy Spirit, bear witness to Christ’s saving grace and lordship over all. As we read, study, and pray through our bible passages each week, we are reminded that the formation of Christ’s church begins not with human initiative, but with God’s action and the power of the Holy Spirit. By his Word and Spirit, Christ is at work among us – in our church, in our families, in our city, and throughout the world. He calls us to see where he is at work, and to follow him with faith. The movement of the Spirit within us, calls us to an outward-facing mission to love and serve others.
